I already set them in my ~/.profile, but that does not seem to work, as they are not seen when starting LyX (or perhaps any GUIX installed app?). Would setting them in ~/.bash_profile work? I thought that ~/.profile is loaded on login. I also need the variables to be visible, when I click a launcher for example, so not only when I open a terminal. Not sure bash_profile would be considered in that case?
I need to try this. Thanks so far!
